EXHIBIT HALLS

The Cultural and Academic Network Hall is designed to put conference attendees in direct contact with representatives from many of our institutional members and other cultural organizations. Part exhibition hall, part interview center, and part meeting place, the Cultural and Academic Network Hall is the space for job seekers , cultural institutions, and academic departments to meet face-to-face. The Network Hall is free and open to the public.

Participating museums, colleges, and universities may reserve a Tabletop Exhibit in the Network Hall. Organizations may also reserve Interview Booths as part of their booth package to meet with candidates for open positions. Interview Booths are available to non-exhibitors for 90-minute time slots , but must be booked in advance (see pricing below).

The Network Hall is a great way for department leadership and alumni offices to connect with faculty and former students and to meet new students and instructors. Due to size limitations, the Network Hall will be limited to the first 50 organizations that register.

There will be Interview Booths within the Network Hall. This will give interviewers the opportunity to meet prospective faculty and program candidates in a private and professional setting, removing the need to conduct interviews in private hotel rooms or other locations. Each booth can hold up to five people comfortably. Catering will be available at an additional cost.

Idea Exchange enables conference attendees to meet informally with others who are interested in similar topics or to learn a little more about an unfamiliar subject area. These conversations will be held at round tables in the Cultural and Academic Network Hall and will be facilitated by someone knowledgeable in a respective field.
